Abstracts are invited for papers to be presented at the Textile Specialty
Group session at the AIC Annual Meeting in June 2003 in Arlington, Virginia.
The theme for the session is the concept of "Pushing the Envelope".  This is
a broad topic that encompasses treatments or research that expand
traditional textile conservation treatment parameters.  These parameters may
include ethical issues, unusual materials either treated or used in
treatments, techniques developed specifically for a treatment, or any other
unusual, creative or thought-provoking aspect of treatment.
 
Papers on topics outside of this theme are also welcome.
 
Abstracts should be sent to Deborah Bede, Textile Specialty Group Vice
Chair.  Electronic submissions are welcome at [log in to unmask],
or abstracts can be faxed to (603) 938-2455, or mailed to
